A member asked:

Why would vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) lower my blood pressure? yes i have symptoms of low bp not high. foggy, tight chest, light headed, cold. only 35 mg.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not from low BP: Your symptoms can be directly from the medicine itself, not mediated by low bp. Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) doesn't lower bp. If your BP is low, it's because you're healthy. That's generally a good thing. But you may be having intolerable side effects nonetheless.
